When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. But now, scientists at UC San Francisco ...
Multicellular organisms are a mosaic of different cells, tissues, and systems, each with their own specific function and interactions with other cells within the organism and/or the larger environment ...
Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...
Tumors actively prevent the formation of immune responses by so-called cytotoxic T cells, which are essential in combating cancer. Researchers have now uncovered for the first time how this exactly ...
It is comparatively easy to tell a cell's state of health: On their surface, cells present fragments of almost all the proteins they contain inside. This means the immune system can directly recognize ...
One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...
Since the development of the super immunodeficient CIEA NOG mouse® in the early 2000s enabled improved humanized immune system (HIS) mice, HIS models have been widely adopted in immuno-oncology ...
Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...
It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) ...
